Introduction Of the Rrahma Fowls.

In the year 1916, Hartford man, a Mt
Chamberlain, saw, on the docks 10 New
York, on board of I'd East In0iamau Just in
from long voyage, and in possession of a
sailor, some fowls. They were clearly O,
rse Asiatic family, but different from the
Shanghaes, Chittagongs. and Cochin Chi.
iias, with which he was familiar. So he
bought them, aud took them homo. His
business, however, interfered with his
bringing them before the public, 80 be
parted with them to Mr.. Virgil Cornish,
then of Hartford, subsequently, of New
Britain, who propagated them successfully
until he had fine stock. They were not
brought out until 1852 at great poultry
show in Boston. where they received the
name Brshma Pootro, because they had

peculiarities Ii the triple comb--a central
comb rather low SET and small comb or
each side of it, aud becoming one with it
above the base. Somewhat similar combs
had been noticed occasionally in other
breeds OF Asiatic fowls, and the Maiays had

been called a pea comb" for what reason

and this is called pea comb from its triple
form. They exhibited from the very first

Cattle and Manure.
By Our Agricultural Editor

BY Our Agricultural Editor.
The farmer of the eastern and middle
states finds it necessary to keep live stock,
in order to have manure to apply to the
land. And in spite Of western competition
in the production of meat, &c, the eastern
farmer is willing to buy cattle at this sea
soE of the year, and keep and feed them all
she winter. if IN the spring he can sell the
enimals for the original cost. He is willing
TO take the manure made during the winter
rs his pay.
Why should he not and why should not
any farmer be willing to this arrangement
They shelter well, and the manure suffers
no loss by exposure. And it is fact long
demonstrated and now pretty generally un.
derstood; that the manure from cattle il
pretty nearly equal in value to the feed
consumed, so that having the forage con-
sumed. they not only get it made over into
valuable manure for nothing, but make
something on the keep Of the stock.
The farmer cannot do better, if he wants
manure and has the facilities for keeping il
out OF the rains, to keep cattle enough tc
consume all the forage supply of the farm
The manure Is worth as much as the feed,
and the trouble Of keeping and feeding il
not great. We believe that enc having for.
age can afford to winter cattle for others
{if he cannot buy them) for one dollar 9
head.
But doubtless the largest gain would be
from keeping inilch cows. She offers a
double profit. namely in milk and manure.
We are very sure that any one having the
means could afford to wiuter mich cows fol
others, and feed them we'll into the bar.
gain, for the milk the COWS would yield.
This matter of wintering cattle for the
manure does not seem to have received the
attention at the hands of southern farmers
that its Importance deserves. Organic man
ure is the one great need of our farms
There is none better than that from cattle
It will pay to buy cattle and winter them
Cor the manure alone.-Petersburg Inder

Take Care Of Yourself.

We clip the following excellent and
seasonable advice from the Baltimore
american
There are a great many people in this
world who think that they can violate all
the laws of health and shatter their consti.
tutlons, and then repair the damage with a
dollar bottle of patent medicine. Those
people ought to take better care of them
selves There is no rule of life SO potent
rs self-preservation. Often we run across
an old gentleman whose years have reached
four score, and who has vigorous step and
a bright eye. Ask him to what cause be
attributes his sturdiness, and he replies, 81
always take care of myself"
This is something that ought to have
special weight at this season, when social
excitement is about to begin. Ladies who
dance in crowded rooms for hours, who get
Gverheated, and then expose themselves in
their low cut dresses to the cold air, know
full well how they court disease and death,
but they surrender themselves to the ex-
eitement and suffer the consequence. The
wonder is not that there is SO much lung
suffering, but that there is not moro of it,
30 needless are the devotees of fashion,
They should take better care of themselves.
Business men often rush ahead in theiI
work, regardless Of the effect it has on their
health. They wear out their energies and
exhaust their vitality, and all the time the
damage goes OH and increases. They keep
thinking to themselves that they will rest
after awhile and get back by recuperation
Rll that they have lost. But very often the
threads of life, unable to bear such tension,
suddenly snap, or if death does not come,
health goes, and leaves perpetual illness in
its place. These people ought to take bet
ter care of themselves.
In many cases it would be good ides
for people to call in physicians before they
are sick, and get some good advice which
they could follow from day to day. Nc
better investment could possibly be made.
All the physic in the world cannot restore a
damaged constitution to its original vigor.
1t may mend it, but cannot remake it,

Western Union VIII Take Everythfnc

NEW YORK. Oct. S-The next important
step toward complete settlement of the tele.
graph war, prababy second only to the purchase
of the Baltimore & Ohio system by the w estern
Union company. was taken yesterday. An
Agreements was made between the Mutual Union,
the fighting contingent of the Western Union
company. and the Postal Telegraph Company,
which now represents the only opposition. Mr.
Gould said, in reply to an inquiry whether the
agreement meant the absorption of the Mackay
land and ocean lines: II guess not. AS un-
derstand the situation, the Mutual Union and
Postal companies have agreed to advance rates
TO something tariff. They have been
fighting each other. but the Western Union is
not greatly interested. have not heard of any
advance in cable rates.
1t is understood that the advance in land rates
on the Postal lines will carry with 1t the
abolition of rebates, and that all the competitive
10 and Is cent rates will be given ND, and the
new schedule will agree very nearly with the
Western Union. The Offices of the New York &
Southern Telegraph Company are to be closed
in all cities of the South reached by the South
ern lines. few hundred more operators will
be thrown out aud the rates in that territory
will be fixed by the Western Union.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-10-29

THE indianapolis Journal is badly mistaken
when it says that domestic architecture has
made very little progress in the South" since
the war. If our contemporary will start from
Chattanooga and follow the line of Sherman's
march to Atlanta, Savannah, Columbia and
so on to the end, it will see more houses
and barns than can be found in the same dis
lance in any part of the United States, or OF
the civilized world.-Charleston News and
Courier.
That is rather neatly put. We have no
doubt that in the particular belt Of country
referred to there has been considerable build
ing since the war. The old buildings offended
the severe taste of the trained' artists who
accompanied Sherman, and they removed the
offensive structures as architectrical monstros-
tiles. There.were great many artists with
Sherman on that walk.
